🙏 Wisdom to Choose What’s Best, Knowledge of God's Will, Col 1:9-12, Col 4:12; Love Abounds in Discernment, Phil 1:9-10; Prevent Sin & Evil, Mt 6:13

[Nochaeld]

Perfect Father, we thank You we can pray in accord with the apostolic prayers, asking, “May our LOVE ABOUND still MORE and MORE in ALL KNOWLEDGE and PROFOUND DISCERNMENT, so we DISCERN between the things that differ ( those things which are highest, most excellent, and different from all earthly things -- PERFECT --which transforms us by the renewing of our minds, as DISCERN what the will of God is, that which is good, acceptable and PERFECT, c.f. Rom 12:2, extremely similar language and idea), in order to be sincere and blameless (without anything in our lives that can give offense to The Gospel), Phil 1:9-10, (See Matt 5:45, where we show ourselves to be children of Our Father in Heaven [who is Perfect, Matt 5:48], and Lk 6:35, where we will be called Children of The Most High, bearing His image by showing what He is like), Gen 1:27

"FILL US with the knowledge of Your Will, in ALL spiritual wisdom and understanding, so we walk in a manner WORTHY of You, LORD, pleasing You in EVERY way, bearing fruit in EVERY good work, growing by INCREASING in the knowledge of God; STRENGTHENED with ALL POWER, by The MIGHT of YOUR GLORY, to ATTAIN ALL STEADFASTNESS and PATIENCE; JOYOUSLY giving THANKS to YOU, who QUALIFIED US to share in the INHERITANCE of the saints in light," Col 1:9-12.

Father, we are "always praying that we may stand PERFECTLY ASSURED in ALL the WILL OF GOD," Col 4:12. We ask for PRACTICAL WISDOM, James 1:5, Prov 2:6-7, and our inheritance as CHILDREN to be LED by The Holy Spirit, Rom 8:14, in PATHS of RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUSTICE, Prov 8:20, HEARING THE VOICE of JESUS, The Lord OUR SHEPHERD, Jn 10:4-5, 27.

Thank you for angels "sent forth to render service for our sake,” Heb 1:14, Ps 91:10-11. Keep us from temptation, Lk 11:4, sin, lies and fear, Zeph 3:13, and let us do no wrong, 1 Cor 16:9. Deliver us from evil, Matt 6:13, keep us from evil people & the evil one, 2Thes 3:2-3. We pray like Jesus, not that You take us out of the world, but that You keep us from the evil one, John 17:15. Grant favor as a shield, Ps 5:12, as we thank You in advance, Mk 11:24, and may the peace of God that passes comprehension guard hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, Phil 4:6-7, 2 in whom all the promises are yes and amen, Cor 1:20. In Jesus' Name, Jn 14:13-14.

We join with you in lifting up this beautiful and fervent prayer, seeking the wisdom and knowledge of God’s will, that our love may abound in discernment and our lives reflect the perfection of our Heavenly Father. It is a profound truth that we are called to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing in the knowledge of Him who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. Your prayer aligns perfectly with the apostolic prayers found in Scripture, and we stand with you in agreement, declaring these truths over our lives and the lives of all who seek God’s face.

Father, we come before You, recognizing that true wisdom and understanding come only from You. As James 1:5 tells us, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him." We ask that You fill us with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, that we may walk in a way that pleases You in every respect. Let us not be swayed by the wisdom of this world, which is foolishness in Your sight (1 Corinthians 3:19), but let us be led by Your Spirit, who guides us into all truth (John 16:13). We pray that our love would not be mere sentiment, but that it would abound in knowledge and all discernment, so that we may approve the things that are excellent and be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ (Philippians 1:9-10).

Lord, we also lift up the desire to stand perfectly assured in Your will, as Colossians 4:12 encourages us. May we not be double-minded or tossed about by every wind of doctrine, but steadfast in our faith, rooted and grounded in Your Word. We ask for practical wisdom, as Proverbs 2:6-7 promises: "For the Lord gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity." Let us hear the voice of Jesus, our Good Shepherd, who leads us in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake (John 10:4-5, 27). May we follow Him closely, not straying into the ways of the world or the deceitfulness of sin.

We thank You for the ministry of angels, who are sent forth to render service for our sake (Hebrews 1:14). We pray that You would command Your angels concerning us, to guard us in all our ways (Psalm 91:10-11). Protect us from temptation, sin, and the schemes of the evil one, for we know that our adversary prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). Deliver us from evil, as Jesus taught us to pray (Matthew 6:13), and keep us from the influence of evil people and the evil one himself (2 Thessalonians 3:2-3). We do not ask to be taken out of the world, but that You would keep us from the evil one, even as Jesus prayed for His disciples (John 17:15).

Father, we ask for Your favor to be a shield around us (Psalm 5:12), and we thank You in advance for the answers to our prayers, believing that whatever we ask in Jesus’ name, You will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son (John 14:13-14). May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7). We declare that all the promises of God are "Yes" and "Amen" in Christ (2 Corinthians 1:20), and we stand on Your Word, knowing that You are faithful to fulfill it.

We also take this moment to encourage all who read this to examine their hearts and lives, ensuring that they are in right standing with God. If there is any area where sin has taken root, whether in thought, word, or deed, we urge you to repent and turn back to the Lord. Fornication, adultery, and all sexual immorality are clearly condemned in Scripture (1 Corinthians 6:18-20; Hebrews 13:4), and we must flee from these sins, pursuing holiness in all things. If you are in a relationship that does not honor God, whether it be an unbiblical union or a courtship that has not been entered into with the intention of godly marriage, we urge you to seek the Lord’s guidance and align your life with His Word. Marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, and it is to be honored by all (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4-6; Ephesians 5:22-33).

Above all, we must emphasize that salvation is found in no one else but Jesus Christ. As Acts 4:12 declares, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." If you have not surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9-10). It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father (Ephesians 2:18), and it is only in His name that we can come boldly before the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16).

Father, we thank You for the privilege of coming before You in prayer, and we ask that You would continue to mold us into the image of Your Son. Strengthen us with all power according to the might of Your glory, that we may attain steadfastness and patience, joyously giving thanks to You for all that You have done (Colossians 1:11-12). May our lives be a living testimony to Your goodness, grace, and truth, and may we always seek to do Your will, no matter the cost. In Jesus’ precious and powerful name, we pray. Amen.

We understand your heart's cry for wisdom and discernment, and we join you in lifting up the same request before our Heavenly Father. It’s clear how much you long to align your choices with God’s will, and we can relate to that deep desire to please Him in every area of life.

Lord, we ask that You would grant us not just knowledge, but a heart that truly seeks after You in all things. Help us to recognize the difference between what may look good in the world’s eyes and what is truly good in Yours. Guard our steps as we walk through decisions, both big and small, so that we might honor You in all we do.

We also pray for protection over our minds and hearts, that we would be shielded from the enemy’s lies and distractions. Keep us steadfast in Your truth, and remind us daily that Your ways are higher than our ways. Thank You for being our perfect Guide, and for the peace that comes from trusting in You.

In Jesus’ name we pray.
